Google Translate:

With the D-C1007UN the manufacturer Gigabyte presents a motherboard in the mini-ITX format. Especially for lower performance, but all the more compact office systems is intended

Based on the Intel NM70 chipset, the board already contains innately a Celeron 1007U, which uses the latest Ivy Bridge architecture. The chip has two cores that go with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz to plants and also equipped with a 2 MB L3 cache. The TDP of directly soldered onto the circuit board processor is 17 W.

On the board there are also two banks of RAM, so the maximum memory size is 16 GB.

At ports, the Gigabyte C1007UN-D a 6 Gb / s and two 3 Gb / s SATA ports fast, next to find an eSATA and a PCI slot, PCI Express or Mini-PCIe is missing, however. When connecting the VGA or HDMI monitors to choose from, for euphony, a 5.1 audio controller, it delivers.

To connect to a network, a Gigabit LAN slot is available, peripheral devices can be accessed via six USB 2.0 ports. USB 3.0 will be without the user about it.

When and at what price, the board will come on the market, is not yet known.

I've been hoping the Ivy Bridge mobile Celerons would start appearing on motherboards.

Here's an interesting Celeron 857 fanless barebones I found on Newegg.com:

I just saw that and this foxconn barebones (with ram) with the NM70: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6856119083 . I would like a 857 but don't feel like they justify this 100 dollar increase.

Choose the Ivy Bridge Version. The main difference is the GPU (with topic htpc - clearly the cpu is also faster), which can clock at 1000 Mhz instead of the max 850 Mhz the 847 has.

Νο USB 3?

In openelec does it have HD Audio passthrough support?

Can it be turned on via a USB IR remote?

No idea -- but I have found Habey to be very responsive to any questions -- [email protected].

Hi guys! I'm looking for the replacement of my old CHD15 ATV mk1 which is having a hard (but surprisingly not impossible ) time with the mpeg2/1080i streams of a HDHR prime. I'm on a tight budget and I'm looking at this boards as a nice contender. this might sound weird but, have any of you guys have tried to use a PCIe video card with this motherboards? I'm thinking of sticking a nvidia 520m/610 into the x16 port that some of this NM70 based boards have, so far I just know of the asus C8HM70 as a possible candidate (I can't find any other board using true x16 pcie), it was sad when I found out that the BIOSTAR NM70I-847 has a x8 lane under its x16 pcie slot and that also it might not boot a pcie video card as the primary video interface (sad because no biostar = no 8gb ram for free, and asus = no SPDIF output). this system will run openelec

this might help... most if all deinterlacing problems can be solved be using VDPAU and nvidia GPU. (under linux)
i have used a gt610 (a rebadged gt 520) in a asus c60m1-i... (it only has 4x on the 16x pci-e) which ran acceptably , but I noticed it did not look as great as a gt630... BUT, to answer your question the the gt610/gt520 should work well... i prefer a gt630 / 640 / 650 though, but a 610/520 is better for deinterlacing than HD2000...

an gt610 is easy to get fanless... while the gtx 630 / 640 / 650 is better, the fans on those boards need to be "tamed" because they have whiney fans!...

to sum up...
a gt 630 is minimum, gt640 is ok, and gtx 650 great (lower power consumption because if the 3 "power miser" levels, versus the 2 in the gt640)

BTW
i use the hdmi audio out in linux out of the Nvida card.

i have been running a mythtv setup for 6 months PVRing the tv 2012-2013 season (4.5 TB's of OTA HDTV...)

yes, adding a Nvidia GPU adds about 10-12 watts to the idle power, but i solves a lot of problems with video (with mythtv and deinterlacing 1080i HDTV shows.)

GT610 is completely okay for every temporal / spatial deinterlacing combination when doing 1080 i50. Having a ID42 myself and also an Asus 847 with a GT610 for testing.

[ensastiga]

Thanks a lot, that was really useful. I didn't know that it's possible (for practical purposes) to run a video card like the 610 in a non 16x lane, knowing this, I think I'm gonna try a 610 on the x8 bus of the biostar, I'm not that concerned with fan noise (which should be easy to work out ) or the extra power required by the pcie GPU (this might be solved by finding a motherboard/OS combination that properly resumes from USB). I'll keep posting my results on this. Thanks again guys!

[fritsch]

I made an OE build with the VPP patches.

Just watch some LiveTV and set your Deinterlacing to Auto and choose method: VAAPI Auto
For upscaling on the Celeron keep Bilinear (as always).

Have fun with testing.

You can easily install a live stick. After extracting run:
sudo bash create_livestick /dev/sdg (where sdg is obviously your USB stick)

Code backported to frodo is on my github (OE and frodo).

a gt610 (gigabyte fanless) will work in a 4x pcie lane... i did for me in a asus c60m1-i


the idle power of the gt610, gt630, gt640, and the gtx 650 are the same... about 10 watts.

i am using a seasonic ss300-tgw PSU, INTEL g2120, 8GB Ram, 3 "green" drives;(3TB,3TB,2TB)
and an asus p8h77-I MB.
the idle power measured using a power meter (belkin) is 48-49 watts.

at full load (./mprime 1 worker test) and Gputest 0.3 furmark test is around 125 to 145...

mprime with 2 workers 70 watts, without GTX 650, 60 watts.

41 watts with 2HDD asleep (sudo hdparm -Y /dev/sdb /dev/sdc)
38 watts only with the WD 2TB red drive.
28 watts without the gtx 650.

a mac mini idles at about 15 watts...

BTW mythtv when playing a .ts 1080i 15Mbps atsc file; 55 watts gtx 650.

Swapped out cheap knock-off 120W direct-plug DC PSU for a picoPSU-90 (edited numbers above). This dropped temps by 10C and power usage by 2W all around. This keeps the fan below 5000RPM where it's tolerable. I am going to order a Scythe Mini Kaze 40x20 fan for $6.50 to replace the stock fan and see how that goes.

please keep me posted on this. very interested.
